Are you a Qualified Teacher with a passion to work with children and young people with SEND?

 Do you want to be a part of a dedicated and successful team who are dedicated to “making a difference” to children and young people with SEND, their families and professionals who work with them?

 The Dartford Specialist Teaching and Learning Service has the exciting opportunity for a qualified and experienced teacher to join our team, who are employed by and based at Rowhill School.  

 Dartford STLS is one of twelve District STLS teams in Kent and is committed to providing high quality teaching and learning support for children and young people with SEND, within mainstream schools in Dartford. A solution-focused approach is at the heart of all that we do to improve inclusive practice.

We are looking for an excellent practitioner with experience of working with pupils who have SEMH needs and associated C&I needs also as many of our cases have co-morbid diagnoses. The age range covered will be across all age phases but predominantly the Primary phase.
